Transcript

The Mary River is the largest catchment flowing to the Great Sandy Strait. It is dominated by grazing and forestry and includes residential areas such as Gympie, Maryborough, Cooroy and many smaller townships. There are also large areas of other farming, and conservation and natural areas. The Butchulla name for the lower Mary River is recorded as Moonabulla, meaning many river bends.
